OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 14, 1919.

Application led July 1, 1919. Serial No. 307,909.

To all whom t may concern I Be it known that I, CHARLES H. BOEGK, a cltlzen of the United States, residing at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I do declare the following to be .a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as -will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in oil burners'of the type employing a cylindrical wick slidable between inner and outer sleeves, and one object of the invention is to `wick, to the flame so that it will be consumed.

A still further object is to incorporate the features above mentioned in the form of a horizontal wick stopping ring and a pair of flanges depending. therefrom, and to secure the innermost of these flanges to a vertically sliding sleeve guided in its movement by the usual central sleeve of the burner.

lVith the foregoing objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, the descriptive matter being' supplemented by the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application.

Figure 1 1s a vertical section, partly in elevation, showing the burner constructed in accordance with my invention. v

Figs. 2 and 3 are horizontal sections on the planes indicated by the lines 2-2 and 3-3 of Fig. 1.

I have shown my invention applied to a well known form of oil burner which includes an outer wick guiding sleeve 1, an inner wick guiding sleeve 2, a; wick 3 slidable between said sleeves, a jacket sleeve 4 spaced around the sleeve 1 and secured thereto by spacers 5, a central sleeve 6 spaced inwardly from the sleeve 2 and secured thereto by spacing plates 7 a spreader 8 carried bythe upper end of the sleeve G. anda fiame guard 9 on the upper end of the jacket sleeve 4. The wick is shown secured upon a sleeve 10 which may be vertically adjusttypes.

I provide a fiat horizontal ring 12 disposed over the sleeve 2 and the wick 3; eX-

tend a vertical annular flange 13 downwardly fromthe outer edge portion of said ring between the wick and the upper end of the sleeve 2; provide another annular flange 14 depending from the inner edge of the ring 12 and` spaced inwardly a slight distance from the sleeve 2; provide a sleeve 15 between the sleeve (3 and the flange 14 in closely spaced relation to the latter; solder or otherwise secure the lower edge of the flange 14 to said sleeve 15 at 16; perforate the upper end of said flange 14 as seen at 17; and direct the upper end of sleeve 15 outwardly over the ring 12 at 18. The upper end of the sleeve 2 is by preference offset inwardly at 19 in order that the flange 13 may be spaced from bothsaid end and the sleeve 10 which carries the wick 3.

The ring 12- forms a wick stop and any oil which mayv condense on the lower side of this stop and the upper end of the wick 3. will flow downwardly between the wick and the flange 13 and will return tothe wick chamber, that is the space between the sleeves 1 and 2. Oil is thus prevented from flowing over the top of the burner and consequently smoking, and the formation of foul odors, are prevented. Gases of course generate as the oil in the u per end of the wick is heated, and some o this gas is directly burned as it leaves the wick, and the remainder of such gas will pass downwardly between the wick and the flange 13, then upwardly between said flange and the end 19 of the sleeve 2, over this. sleeve and through the perforations 17, into the space between.

the flange. 14 and the sleeve 15, and from this space the gas will be directed into the flame by the flange 18. An' extremely hot flame is thus produced and it has been found that a great many of the impurities which are commonly left u-nburned, are consumed by such flame.

Preferably though not necessarily, the sleeve 15 depends a considerable distance below the flange 14C and is connected 'by spacers 21 to sleeve 22 which is slidable upon the central sleeve 6. When the wich is adjusted vertically, the parts 13, l2, 11i, 15, 21 and 22 move bodily and during this movement, the sleeve 22 guides all parts to maintain the proper spaces between them.

Although all details disclosed are preierablea l wish' tor distinctly point out that the most important ieatures or' the invention are a horizontal stop ring such as 12, an annular lange depending from said stop ring between the wich and the inner guide sleeve for said wick, said wick, flange and sleeve being in spaced relation, a secon flange depending from said ring and spaced inwardly from said wick guiding sleeve, perforations in the upper end of said second flange, and a gas guiding sleeve such as 15 to which the lower end of the second flange 14 is secured` the two being in spaced relation and said gas guiding sleeve having its upper end projected outwardly' to direct the gas to the llame. These several features may be constructed and mounted in numerous ways and need not necessarily be incorporated in the exact form and arrangement shown.

I claim:

1. ln an oil burner, a cylindrical wick and a Xed inner guiding sleeve for said wick, a horizontal ring over said sleeve and wick and forming a wick stop, an anular flange depending from said ring between the wick and said guiding sleeve and in spaced relation with both to allow condensing oil to return to the wick chamber and to allow generated gas to travel inwardly from the wick, a second flange depending from said horizontal ring and spaced inwardly the upper end ci said wick guiding sleevey the upper end ot' said second flange being perforated to permit the escape of the gen erated gas, and a gas guiding sleeve surrounded by said second flange and in spaced relation thereto, the lower end of said second iange being secured to said gas guiding sleeve and the upper end of this sleeve being outwardly extended to direct the es caping gas to the llame.

2. ln an oil burner, a cylindrical wick and a fixed inner guiding sleeve i'or said wick, a horizontal ring over said sleeve and wick and forming a wick stop` an annular flange depending from said ring between the wick and said guiding sleeve and in spaced relation with both to allow condensing oil to return to the wick chamber and to allow generated gas to travel inwardly from the wick, a second flange depending from said horizontal ring and spaced inwardly from the upper end of said wick guiding sleeve7 the upper end of said second Bange being perforated to permit the escape of the genera-tedlgag a gas guiding sleeve surrounded by said second flange and in spaced relation thereto, the lower end of said second flange being secured to said gas guiding sleeveand the upper end of this sleeve being outwardly extended to direct the escaping gas to the llame, said gas guiding sleeve eX- tending below said second flange7 a sliding sleeve spaced inwardly from said gas guiding sleeve and spacers securing them together, a fixed central sleeve upon which said sliding sleeve is mounted, and additional spacers securing said central sleeve to said wick guiding sleeve. y

ln testimony whereof l have hereunto set my hand.
